 * Hello Max,
    I am impressed by your plugin, but I have a small problem: “The URL
   is not valid and cannot be loaded” message when trying to show a part of the 
   page – “Inline Content” option.
 * Example of Shortcode generated into page:
    [thkBC height=”300″ width=”500″ anchortext
   =”Link Anchor Text” title=”ThickBox Title XXX” type=”inline” inline_id=”xxx”]
 * URL of the link on frontend page for thickbox (no it, type $_GET parameters?):
   
   [http:///?TB_iframe=true&width=500&height=300](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-thickbox-content-inline-content-non-valid-url/?output_format=md)
 * Frankly, the weird URL address looks very similarly as the next one in the post:

 * The shortcode you have posted there in your reply is not working for me too, 
   the returned URL is:
    [http:///?TB_iframe=true&width=720&height=540](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-thickbox-content-inline-content-non-valid-url/?output_format=md)
 * I am really not sure what to do with it. The test I have done was with deactivated
   TinyMCEAdvanced plugin + Twenty Ten template without any modifications.
 * If you have any idea, I will be very pleased.
    Thank you for your help, with 
   best regards, Joo PS: The “iFramed content” works perfectly.

 * Hello Max,
    could you, please, provide any URL links with live examples? (I don’t
   mean your help video).
 * Just for looking at the correct syntax for fully functional URLs… (as I said,
   I am a bit surprised I cannot see any “id” or “type” $_GET parameters (typing
   error in my previous post) expected in URL for thickbox
 * Thanks a lot, with regards,
    Joo

 * Hi Max,
    the SHORTCODE must be uncorectly transformed to URL! Back to my weird
   example – OK shortcode in editarea: —————————————————— [thkBC height=”300″ width
   =”500″ anchortext=”Link Anchor Text” title=”ThickBox Title XXX” type=”inline”
   inline_id=”xxx”]
 * ERROR URL generated by plugin:
    —————————— [http:///?TB_iframe=true&width=500&height=300](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-thickbox-content-inline-content-non-valid-url/?output_format=md)
 * OK URL – edited in FireBug:
    —————————— [http://?TB_inline=true&width=500&height=300&inlineId=xxx](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-thickbox-content-inline-content-non-valid-url/?output_format=md)
   By the way, “CSS #xxx{display:none;}” part was OK – no changes/inserting of code
   was required. That is really curious, because in your “shortcodes.php” it is 
   under the same if-else part: !!!
 *     ```
       if($type = "inline" && $inline_id != ''){
       			$out = '<style type="text/css"><!-- #' . $inline_id . '{ display: none; } --></style>' . "\n";
       			$out .= $opentag . '<a' . $class . ' href="#TB_inline?height=' . $height . '&width=' . $width .'&inlineId=' . $inline_id .'" title="' . $title . '" class="thickbox"' . $hid . '>' . $anchortext .'</a>' . $closetag;
       		}else{
       ```
   
 * Any help is welcomed.
    With best regards, Joo

 * I’m running WordPress 3.1 with a ton of different plugins and I can’t reproduce
   the same issue that you described. I posted example below the form on this page
   [http://delux.simplerealtytheme.com/contact/](http://delux.simplerealtytheme.com/contact/)–
   it says Test YouTube Video.

 * Hello Max,
    thank you for your reply – I deactivated all the plugins for the 
   next search (it had to be the first step…) and then I have found the cause: “
   Auto Thickbox” plugin.
 * Its iframe() function was too agile – the “TB_Inline” string in the URLs above
   has been replaced by “TB_Frame” and the URL resulted in the mess.
 * Thank you for your work.
    With best regards, Joo.

 * [@joo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joo/), thanks for your work to pin-
   point the issue. So, just to be clear – the Auto Thickbox plugin conflicts with
   the Thickbox Content. Right?

 * Yes, you are right.
    The Auto Thickbox’s “add_filter(‘filter_anchor’, array(‘
   auto_thickbox’, ‘filter’))” really overwrites ‘<a href=”[http://?TB_inline=true…&#8217](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-thickbox-content-inline-content-non-valid-url/?output_format=md);
   part of your plugin.
 * I am not very advanced in PHP but I was able to fix it somehow so for me is everything
   OK. I am about to send a message (link) to this post to author of “Auto Thickbox”,
   I think it could be interesting for him, too.
 * Cheers, Joo
